i have just spent a good 6 hours trying to find a bug in my code only to
discover that the problem is nothing to do with my code at all but an
infrastructure issue. i suppose that i should have logged more detail to fix
the issue quicker but it is one of those things which you think "that'll never
break". of course, by now, it should have been drilled into me enough that the
one thing you think can never go wrong always will!
